Enter Here to Win Marriott Gift Cards — I’m Giving Away $1000

Marriott is running a Cyber Monday sale, 30% off of bookings made this Monday at ~ 350 participating Marriott hotels in North America for travel between December 20 and March 31.

The deal will be available here.

I’m running a giveaway of (2) $500 Marriott gift cards. To be clear, while I am not receiving anything for running this giveaway, the gift cards are provided by Marriott because they want to draw attention to their one-day sale.

  • Check out participating hotels.
  • Leave a comment on his post answering the question, “Which of these hotels are you most interested in staying at?”
  • Enter by Noon Eastern on Sunday, December 1.
  • I will draw two winners at random.

As always, all determinations and judgments I make are final, I try to run these giveaways with the least amount of hassle possible, and appreciate your help!

I look forward to learning what properties you’d like to stay at most!

  13. The wife is going to New Orleans for a bachelorette party, and could try out the Marriott there, with the monday promotion coming up.
